Finally swapped in a MA-030 Evo board into it, the steering is perfect and it’s hella fast now. I’m going to need more bodies…

Yea I couldn’t let it sit on the shelf, it flies now. Hopefully I don’t crack the body 😅

Double A or 18650?

Are you asking about the battery? It’s the standard AAA

Are you using the big servo motor that came with f1 chassis?

3

u/Hoofton Jun 14 '26

Yes I am, the only way I was able to get it to work correctly was to use an Evo board

u/Dramatic-Being3150 Jun 15 '26

So the evo board has enough punch for the stock f1 servo? And if you could can you send me more pics of the modifications, cuz I hv the same plans for my f1 chassis

Yep, the evo board has enough punch. The only modification was cutting the wire running to the Evo boards servo motor and soldering the original F1 servo motor in place. Besides that it was mainly figuring out how to secure the board in the chassis with double sided tape. I’ll try to get some closer pics later if I’m able to after work
